The latest rain forecast for next week in central AB is drier again now so if that comes to pass there will be a good residual again this fall. Mind you that changes with every new forecast.

Crop management is $825 for June delivery and Coop is $840 for June/July.

Seriously considering it here. Sure beats the price of the stuff we just put in the ground 😉

That’s drayton valley area?

Let the fertilizer manufacturers fill their sheds to the top. See if they want to shut down rather than being reasonable. No one needs fertilizers for the most part in western Canada until next spring. Whats the point in saying you will take it at 835 a tonne when it might be 600 come August.

A lot of acres didn't get seeded in Western Canada and the rest probably had reduced the amount put out for two reasons 1) it was and is still dry and 2) the price was retarded.

The shortage was just a fabricated story , much like Liberal MPs , they got away with lying to their customer's faces.

and yet we had guys on here bragging about paying for fertilizer 6 months out and storing it for them for free, well, actually at a cost as i hear some of the late seeders here getting it a lot cheaper
there is a huge cost and risk to storing fertilizer for 10 months
whatever doesn't go in ground in fall stays in their bins until we need it

Which company selling it cheaper? I needed some to finish last week and it was more expensive. I said to them , I heard the price of N was dropping. They said ya, in a month or two.

Every retailer here has dropped N price a week ago
Your simply getting screwed

I wont pay what I did this spring again. Be a big cut back if they try that again.

I dont have the storage to hold over winter and dont really want to. Maybe take delivery in fall and spread it before the snow flies. That is if I am not still on the combine in November.

Block all texts from retailers…..

I'm trying to figure out how that would have worked out for me last year.

I talked to many retailers in August trying to lock in some product.

Many just couldn't get a price or product, but of the two I normally deal with, one said wait till spring and buy it cheaper, figured it was 2008 all over again, one strongly suggested I order as much or more than I need before the price got any higher. I bought from the second, and did take his advice, even though I was originally only going to prebuy half of my needs. Both had my best interests in mind, both were giving me their honest advice based on all the info they had, and their own past experiences.
So I should have blocked both of them? Or does that only apply this year?

Gawd if commodity prices fall by harvest and onwards the sting and discomfort in the backside will be all too real.

That's what I was told also.
Needed some 46 to broadcast on Timothy and was told " Maybe at the end of June there might be small reset"
